m5 vs mous should be interesting. Hopefully tobi's game won't screw up this time.

Well, joking or no, clarification would still be nice, the nebulous "Say the I word and die" atmosphere is starting to become a little much.

It's interesting to see HoN players moving over and competing in Dota 2. The arguments are always leveled that they were the scrubbish high level Dota players who could never quite make it there, so they had to move to another game with a more dilute talent pool. Arguments are made both ways, but its nice to finally see an actual experimental test of whether it's true.
He said it was "My Mix Tube": http://www.youtube.com/user/MyMixTube
But he also mentioned a "Hands Up Mix". Not sure if that is a playlist, or upload on that specific channel.

Wow, Dota 2 tournaments still have ways to go in terms of organization. It's been, I don't know, 2 or 3 hours since the last game has been played and now the stream goes offline. No Mouz vs M5 today apparently.

Server problems and don't forget it's in beta. mouz vs M5 will be played tomorrow.
Ah, MyMixTube. Thanks. Australian accent can be hard at times
To be honest, it was clunky timing on Valve's part. Roll out this patch three hours later and it would be fine.
I don't recall anything being said about a patch.
Well, when the models load at the very start of the match, the game does stutter, especially in bot matches due to 9 being picked at once. Was that what you were talking about?
Also, there isn't any patch right now, the Servers in Europe are just having issues. Valve may need to start making Tournament Builds of the game that can be played on LAN.

quick someone port over Kapura's Gladiator guide for Kunkka
http://www.joindota.com/en/vods
As well as pretty much every dota 2 tournament so far. It's tobi's website and he puts up vods for everything he casts. (that he can, dreamhack had a deal with twitch tv so couldn't put up own3d vods)
Nah Bane next week.
This is my guess. I think any of the heroes with released unfinished models are good bets. So Ursa, Gyro, Clinkz, Bounty Hunter and Phantom Assassin
I don't think Sebulon is guessing.
Oh. I didnt know.
Nah I'm guessing, but it's not that difficult to predict the direction they take the updates, Invoker requires so much work, expecting him before heroes that require far less, is silly.
Next week Bane or Gyro, calling it now.

I'm spectating my first match right now. This is probably not news to anyone in this thread but...
...it's so beautiful.

Can someone post the patch notes?
Why does Valve get it so very much?
Updates to Dota 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. Fixes include:
HEROES
Added Death Prophet!
Lifestealer: Fixed Feast working on denies
Nightstalker: Updated suggested item build.
Huskar: Fixed Burning Spears working through silence.
UI
When purchasing while dead, items can go to the main inventory ( previously were sent to the stash ).
Fixed some item buffs not working when combined while the hero is dead.
Fixed ability tooltips not working when the game is paused.
Revamped the waiting for players (loading) screen.
If a player fails to connect and load, we now kick all the players back to matchmaking so we don't end up 4v5.
Removed chat from game end panel, we now just show regular hud chat during scores.
VISUALS
Hooked up occasional flinches to lane creeps.
Reduced random blood splatter chances from creep to creep attacks.
Fixed Broodmother's webs not showing up if you connected after they were created.
Screenshakes now work during the end game cinematic
Fixed character shadows sometimes not showing up.
Units are now pushed away from the ancient when it's destroyed.
Updated pine tree foliage.
Added unique tree destruction and tree stumps
Added WIP radiant ancient destruction
Changed impact effects to have a specific hero variation
Fixed blood coming from mechanical units
Fixed Weaver afterimage effects not rendering properly
Fixed character shadows staying off if they were first rendered as invisible on a client
AUDIO
Alchemist's concoction lines are now heard by other players nearby.
Riki will only say "This is Redundant" when picking up an Invisiblity Rune while invisible.
Fixed not hearing the ancient destruction sound effects if the camera was too far away.
Enabled the Unit Speech option in the settings panel.
Altered processing on Jakiro voices (in 12/1/11 update).
DOTA 2 BOTS
Fixed bug where bots would fail to attack Roshan.
Fixed bug where bots wouldn't deny their own creeps.
Fixed spectating players still being able to control bots while spectating.
Fixed bug where bots would grab Aegis over humans if the human's inventory was full. Now they'll assume the human will drop an item for Aegis.
Fixed bug that could sometimes cause no one on a team to pick up Aegis.
Fixed bug where bots would freeze when they encountered a dropped item that they wanted to destroy.
Fixed bug where bots were only avoiding the outermost towers in each lane.
Bots now try to avoid each other somewhat, so they should no longer stack on top of each other as much.
Bots will now attack pets, controlled creeps, and minions in general.
Fixed case where heroes would backtrack after blinking.
Added bot avoidance to Ancient Apparition's Cold Feet.
Bots will now use Glyph if their base is under attack and there are no humans on their team.
Fixed bug in Crystal Maiden bot that was preventing her from using Freezing Field.
Fixed bug where bots would tank Roshan until they died.
HoN's been doing that for the longest time

Holy fuck. I found a Dota 2 Invite Key plastic card on the ground of the lobby in the building where I work. It was all scuffed up, but I nabbed it anyway. Figuring I might as well give it a try, I put in the code in Steam, and lo and behold, I'm now in Dota 2 Beta! Talk about a nice stroke of luck!
Stars of the patch
-Added Death Prophet!
-When purchasing while dead, items can go to the main inventory ( previously were sent to the stash ).
-Revamped the waiting for players (loading) screen.
-If a player fails to connect and load, we now kick all the players back to matchmaking so we don't end up 4v5.
-Removed chat from game end panel, we now just show regular hud chat during scores.
All my issues with the game are UI related. Heroes are secondary in my wants.

Holy shit. What they say about Dota-type game communities may be true?
First thing I do is ask chat, "First time playing a Dota game. What's a good hero to start with?"
Replies:
"Good luck getting into a game."
"Hope you don't crash!"
"Go play LOL"
"Don't play DoTA 2 noob"
"Game is still in beta, don't play it"
then a fight erupts about whether or not DoTA 2 will be released to the public or not before the end of the year.
I think I'll try this again on the weekend...

Technically there are no bad heroes. It all depends on who is playing the hero.
Go on a team with all people using mics and people will threat you with respect. 90% of people are gutless wonders behind a keyboard and dont have the balls to start fights over a mic.
